To those parents that loose sleep at night, and to all new parents...

A book I just discovered and has turnd my nights into "sleeping
through" ones is "Solve Your Childs Sleep Problems". The author's
name escapes me at the moment, but it begins with an "F". The
author goes into explaining sleep cycles and what is "normal"
(i.e., we all wake up in the night...) and then onto what
can be done to change your particular childs sleep problem.
It is WELL WORTH the $16.95 I paid for the hardback. It is a good
book to read before you have a baby to find out what to avoid 
and how you can have a baby sleeping through the night at
an early age. It is also good for toddlers that don't sleep
through the night either!!

No more baggy eyes...
